Sports fans can look forward to a weekend doubleheader as the Texas Rangers host the Houston Astros, with the first game slated for 6:10 p.m. on Saturday and the nightcap set for 1:10 p.m. on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Jeep Week is poised to bring massive crowds to the region, with daytime highs forecast in the 80s and a steady stream of off‑road enthusiasts expected to fill local streets and venues.

Weather officials have issued a cautionary note about a slight chance of rain south of Interstate 10 overnight, alongside dangerous rip currents that are forecast to persist through Monday, prompting lifeguards to advise swimmers to move parallel to the shoreline if caught.

Looking ahead, rain probabilities are expected to climb from Tuesday through Thursday, with some locales facing a roughly 60 percent chance of precipitation; residents are encouraged to savor the city’s outdoor offerings now before the next round of thunderstorms arrives.
